How to properly cleanse your face from acne and blackheads at home?
Comedones are one of the manifestations of acne. They usually occur due to hormonal disorders in the body and improper functioning of the sebaceous glands.
Sebum secretion increases. As a result:
- the processes of keratinization of squamous epithelium are disrupted;
- the mouths of the hair follicles become smaller, they close completely;
- fat stretches the walls of the follicles.
In addition to sebum, dead epidermal cells and particles of cosmetics accumulate in the follicles. They clog pores. Oxygen oxidizes the top layer of the cork and it turns black.
Healthy skin cleanses itself. But the effects of stress, hormonal imbalances, unbalanced nutrition, and various diseases contribute to an increase in sebum production and a slowdown in the cell renewal cycle.
Comedones are located deep inside. Topical products may not always remove them. Cleansing your face will help make your skin smoother.
Professional skin cleaning
A qualified cosmetologist can best cleanse your face of acne. After several procedures, the patient will only have to follow the doctor’s recommendations and properly care for her skin in order to forget about the problem forever.
You can clear your facial skin of acne and pimples using the following procedures:
- professional peeling;
- hardware procedures;
- ultrasonic cleaning;
- mechanical cleaning.
Peeling in a cosmetologist's office allows you to completely renew the upper layer of the epidermis in just a few procedures. For this purpose, acid peeling is used. The special composition quickly dissolves the sebaceous secretion accumulated in the pores and helps accelerate the exfoliation of the upper layer of the epidermis. This procedure will help not only get rid of rashes, but also rejuvenate your facial skin.
Another option for treating acne is abrasive scrubbing. The procedure is carried out using special brushes that gently and delicately exfoliate the upper layer of the epidermis.
Hardware skin cleansing is based on microcurrent effects. For this purpose, the Darsonval apparatus is used. Darsonvalization allows you to improve the metabolic processes occurring in the epidermis. As a result of the course of treatment, regeneration improves and the protective functions of the skin increase. This treatment helps normalize sebum production and improve complexion.
Ultrasonic exposure helps get rid of any skin defects. The procedure lasts about half an hour, during which time a facial massage is performed using a special device. This treatment helps to resolve sebaceous plugs, reduce inflammation and improve epidermal regeneration.
Mechanical cleansing is based on squeezing out pimples by a cosmetologist. The procedure is carried out using a special sterile instrument, thanks to which it is possible to completely clean clogged pores. Before the procedure, preparation is required, which includes a steam bath for the face and application of a special product to open the pores.
Preparing facial skin for cleansing
Before mechanical cleaning, you should prepare the skin. Delicate cleansing is intended for dry skin. Oily skin needs to be treated more intensively.
All cleaning procedures are carried out on cleansed skin. Hands are thoroughly washed and treated with medical alcohol. Otherwise, you can get an infection.
Cleaning is not carried out if there is inflammation on the skin, immature pimples, or unhealed wounds. Inflammation may worsen.
The skin prepared with a scrub is first steamed over hot water, preferably with the addition of medicinal infusions. For dry and problematic skin, wormwood, yarrow, and rosemary are recommended; for oily skin, chamomile, horsetail, and mint.
A steam bath is prepared as follows: place a pan of boiling water on the table and tilt your head over it, covered with a terry towel (so that the steam does not cool). After 15 minutes, the skin is ready for cleaning.
The pores are cleaned with disinfected fingers (not nails!), pressing on each comedone from both sides. You can wrap your fingers in a bandage. Well-opened pores are easily cleaned of contents. Periodically wipe the face with hydrogen peroxide.
Finish the procedure by wiping with a tonic containing alcohol. This tightens the pores. And the final touch is to moisturize the skin that has been dried out by previous procedures with a regular moisturizer.
Mechanical facial cleansing
Cleaning steps:
- Cleansing. The skin is removed from dust, grease, and cosmetics. Oily skin is cleansed with gel, dry skin with cleansing milk. You can wipe your skin with tonic to rid it of traces of makeup.
- Steaming. The procedure will help the pores open and make it easier to cleanse the contents. You can hold your face over a pan of very hot water for 10 minutes and cover your head with a towel. If desired, add chamomile or string to the water (about 3-4 tablespoons if the pan is two-liter).
- Deep cleansing. Apply the scrub, massage for several minutes, rinse with warm water. The particles in the product should not be too large, otherwise they will injure the delicate skin of the face. You can buy the scrub at the store or make it yourself. Take 2 tablespoons of ground coffee or coffee grounds and mix with milk. You can also use sea salt.
- Delete. Hands are washed and treated with alcohol, then carefully remove comedones from the skin. If you have acne or inflammation, you must first treat it. You can use a special Uno spoon, a Vidal needle and sterile wipes.
- Disinfection. The resulting wounds are treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide to avoid infection of the areas.
- Closing pores. Apply a mask that narrows the pores.
- A soothing moisturizer is applied to the skin.
The process of mechanical cleansing can be painful, especially if the pores begin to close. If the skin is too dirty, the procedure is divided into several sessions.
Contraindications to the procedure:
- increased sensitivity and dry skin;
- bronchial asthma, hypertension, herpes.
For about 2-3 days after mechanical cleansing, cosmetics should not be applied to the skin. Exception: alcohol lotion. You cannot sunbathe or go to the solarium. It is not recommended to use the scrub if you have inflammation or wounds. On the fourth day, you can start using moisturizer.
Preparing the skin for the procedure
Cleaning must be done at least once a month
It is recommended to regularly cleanse your facial skin. Dry ones should be cleaned at least once a month, but oily ones should be cleaned at least 2 times. Home treatment for blackheads and pores is an inexpensive and gentle way. Facial cleansing from blackheads combines cleansing, nourishing, moisturizing and even rejuvenating the skin. It is more effective to carry it out in a specialized beauty salon, but you can do it yourself.
Before cleaning your face from blackheads at home, your skin must be carefully prepared for the procedure. To do this, you will need a gel, milk or scrub that suits your skin type. The product is applied to a clean face with massaging movements, while hands should be thoroughly washed with soap. Dry skin requires special care so as not to injure it. Massaging oily skin can be more intense.
Instead of a scrub, it is permissible to use ground coffee with the addition of sour cream or yogurt. After the procedure, wash off the product with warm water.
Then the cleansed skin must be steamed for 15 minutes. For this procedure, you can add an infusion of medicinal herbs to the water; string or chamomile are suitable. To prepare it, pour a couple of tablespoons of chopped herbs into a liter of boiling water and leave for about 30 minutes. The infusion is poured into a container with hot water, you bend over it and cover your head with a towel. After steaming, the pores on the skin open, and blackheads on the face are easier to remove.
Before starting the procedure, you must cleanse your facial skin.
You can steam your face using a napkin made of natural fabric. It is soaked in a hot herbal decoction, squeezed out and applied to the face. After cooling, the napkin must be wetted again and the compress applied again. Masks with a steaming effect are also available for sale. They are very convenient to take with you on vacation or a business trip.
Before you clean your face of acne, the skin must be disinfected; this will require alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. The product is applied to a cotton swab and gently wiped over the skin. Only after such thorough preparation can you proceed directly to cleaning.
Ultrasonic facial cleansing at home
An ultrasonic cleaning device can be purchased at the store. This type of peeling will cleanse the skin and will not injure it. The procedure is suitable for any skin type and is painless. Using ultrasound, you can normalize metabolic processes and reduce the amount of sebum.
Under the influence of high-frequency vibrations, the skin is massaged at the cellular level. The face will acquire a healthy color and eliminates oily shine.

- cancer;
- increased skin sensitivity;
- herpes;
- acute inflammatory purulent processes;

Cleaning is carried out in stages. There is no need to steam the skin: it is cleaned with cosmetic substances (milk, gel), wiped with a sponge and washed off the residue (with a warm compress or water). Next, toning is carried out, that is, again wiped with a cotton swab soaked in tonic.
Immediately before the procedure, the skin is sprayed with mineral water or a gel is applied to conduct ultrasonic waves. The final stage is the application of restorative cream. The cream is selected depending on the skin type, although ultrasonic cleaning itself can be carried out on any skin and in any season, since it does not provoke sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation. The procedure takes up to 15 minutes.
Cleaning should be carried out regularly, at individual intervals. The big advantage of this method of facial cleansing at home is that there is no redness or other consequences after it.
Vacuum facial cleansing at home
The device for vacuum facial cleansing looks like a tube with a nozzle; its principle of operation is reverse air circulation, which ensures that the skin is drawn into the device. That is, the skin is not subjected to pressure, but to attraction to the device. Due to retraction, active cleansing of pores, high-quality superficial cleansing of healthy skin, as well as lymphatic drainage massage occurs.
Before buying a device for vacuum facial cleansing at home, make sure you have no contraindications. These include:
- thin skin prone to bruising;

- deep comedones;
- chronic diseases in the acute stage.
Cleaning your face at home with a vacuum device lasts about an hour and a half. Before the procedure, steam the skin to open the pores. The device is moved along the face along circular axes, providing a soft, minimally invasive, painless manipulation.
The positive effect is noted immediately and lasts for at least a month. In addition to eliminating keratinization and congestion, vacuum procedures stimulate microcirculation, normalize sebaceous and sweat glands, narrow pores, increase elasticity, even out the structure, refresh and moisturize the skin.

Face masks for acne
When treating problematic facial skin, various nutritional and medicinal formulations that can easily be done at home are helpful.
How to clear your face of acne using masks?
Clay mask Cosmetic clay is diluted with warm water until a semi-liquid consistency is formed. The resulting paste should be applied to the face and left until completely dry, about 15-20 minutes.
Using such a mask will cleanse the skin, draw out all impurities from the pores, clear the face of blackheads, dry out rashes, and relieve inflammation.
Bodyagi mask The powder is diluted with warm water, the resulting paste should be applied to the face and left for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
The mask will dry out acne, cleanse pores and remove dead skin particles.
Mask with honey To carry out the procedure, you need to mix 50g of liquid honey and olive oil, beat in 1 egg yolk. Apply the composition to the face and leave for 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. In order to clear your face of acne, the procedure must be carried out regularly, preferably several times a week.
However, using only masks will not get rid of acne. This problem must be considered in its entirety: proper cleansing and care of facial skin, proper nutrition and rest, as well as positive emotions. And then your facial skin will look fresh and clean.
Chemical facial cleansing
For this type of cleansing, products with fruit acids are used: glycolic, lactic, grape. They will cleanse the upper and middle layers of the skin.
Peeling with fruit acids is the most gentle. After applying the mask, the skin turns red and peels. In a few days, these manifestations will go away, there will be no trace of redness and comedones.
Products with fruit acids can be purchased at many cosmetic stores and pharmacies. But at home, you can also cleanse your face with calcium chloride. This is a more budget option.
Peeling with calcium chloride
The product is suitable for all skin types, but first you need to make sure that there is no allergy to it. You need to purchase a 10% calcium chloride solution, baby soap and cotton pads.
After such peeling, the skin will cleanse, comedones and redness will go away. The product should not be applied around the eyes, on wounds after squeezing out pimples, or scratches.
Take an ampoule of calcium chloride 5-10%, moisten a cotton pad with the solution, apply to the skin, and leave to dry. Repeat several times until the ampoule runs out. A cotton pad is soaped with baby soap and the face is massaged along the massage lines.
The reaction of these two components produces flocs. These are dead skin particles.
Wash off the product with warm water, rinse the skin with chamomile decoction or lavender gyrolate. Apply a soothing mask or moisturizer. This peeling is done 1-2 times a month.
Salicylic pilin
Salicylic acid will have an anti-inflammatory effect, cleanse the skin of dead cells, reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands, and help remove freckles and age spots.
Salicylic acid is used for superficial and mid-superficial cleansing. If your skin is oily with a small amount of acne, a superficial cleansing will suit it.
Take a 15-20% solution of salicylic acid. Medium cleansing helps with more pronounced manifestations. You can buy a ready-made solution of salicylic acid, or you can use one of its derivatives - acetylsalicylic acid. You need to crush an aspirin tablet into powder, mix it with any fatty cream, and leave it on your face for an hour.
The mass is washed off with cool water. Afterwards, treat the face with an antiseptic and soothe the skin with cream or masks.
Chemical peels, when used frequently, lead to premature aging of the skin, a decrease in the barrier functions of the skin, and inflammation. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to use oils and moisturizers.
Peels should be carried out in autumn and winter, when the sun is not as active as in summer. Peeling products are also not applied to tanned skin. After the procedure, redness and peeling may appear, but they should go away after a couple of days.
Which facial cleansing is the most effective, each woman decides for herself. Everyone's individual skin characteristics are different. At home, it is better to cleanse your face using the most gentle methods, and leave the most aggressive and traumatic ones to professional cosmetologists. When performing the procedure at home, do not forget about the rules of asepsis.
Pharmacy products against acne
The dynamics of skin changes during adolescence have been well studied by specialists in the field of dermatology. The sebaceous glands produce more of their oily secretion, sebium. At the same time, the synthesis of horny substance increases and the natural exfoliation process is disrupted. Skin pores become clogged, sebum does not have time to come to the surface, accumulates and oxidizes. Blackheads appear, and when bacteria multiply and become inflamed, pimples appear.
Causes of acne:
- hormonal disorders in the body;
- seborrhea - increased sebum secretion;
- errors in skin hygiene;
- poor nutrition;
- action of toxins;
- stress.
A face without acne - is it possible? Yes, if you regularly cleanse your face of acne and blackheads at home. Unfortunately, the factors listed above increase the likelihood that annoying skin imperfections will reappear after cleansing.
What we use to get rid of blackheads and pimples:
- Gentle detergent with neutral pH, without sodium lauryl sulfate.
- A gentle scrub based on juice and ground citrus peels, oatmeal, honey, sea salt, activated charcoal (lightly massage the entire face and rinse at the end).

Neglecting the rules for safe manipulation may lead to the risk of infectious inflammation, which aggravates the situation. You will have to seek help from a qualified specialist who will eliminate the errors of the procedure. By following safety precautions, you can manage to successfully use it yourself.
Stages of the procedure
When starting to carry out manipulation, it is worth knowing about the rules and stages of manipulation. Consistency is important. For the results to be effective, consistency must be observed.
Facial cleansing at home from acne and blackheads is carried out in several stages:
- Skin cleansing.
- Steaming.
- Disinfection.
- Narrowing of pores.
- Washing off.
- Applying nourishing cream.
The steps are not complicated and easy to follow. For complete sterility, the procedure can be carried out wearing medical gloves. Eliminating the inconvenience of gloves is replaced by thorough hand washing, which eliminates bacteria. Hands must be clean. Sterility prevents infectious inflammation.
Skin cleansing
The first stage is cleansing the epidermis of dust, bacteria, and cosmetics. The initial stage is the basis for the further procedure. Ignoring the first step guarantees no result, infection.
Applied cosmetics should be removed using a special tonic or makeup remover. You need to take a cotton pad, apply the product, lightly wipe the areas where cosmetics were applied, and rinse with warm water. Having completed the first step, you can safely proceed to further operations that will help you create a clean face without inflammatory formations. The main thing is that the procedure should be used in the absence of open wounds; pain will occur.
Steaming
The second stage is steaming the dermis. An important step in eliminating inflammatory formations. You need to use chamomile infusion added to warm water. You need to brew two tablespoons of dried chamomile and pour a glass of boiled water. Let the broth brew for an hour until completely cooled. Use the resulting liquid per liter of warm water. You should take a bath for twenty minutes. The optimal time for steaming the skin. Twenty minutes will be enough to cleanse your face and open your pores.
Steamed skin is easier to manipulate. Elimination of formations is faster and easier. Chamomile decoction soothes inflamed areas of the epidermis, eliminating redness, saturating the dermis with vitamins and beneficial substances.
Disinfection
Repeated treatment of the skin requires the use of medications. The next step after steaming. A thoroughly dried face should be dried with a towel using light tangential movements. The epidermis is not damaged. This does not provoke the spread of inflammation.
When disinfecting, use alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. They are reliable antiseptics, anti-inflammatory drugs that eliminate infections and bacteria. You need to apply the liquid to a cotton pad and wipe the affected area. It is necessary to treat the places where formation occurs. Healthy areas cannot be disinfected. When eliminating bacteria, remember that the steps must be carried out with clean hands. Alcohol and hydrogen peroxide can be washed off with warm water. The smell of alcohol can interfere with the manipulation, causing distraction.
How to make the procedure sterile
In the beauty salon, a special room is allocated for cosmetic manipulations, in which everything is sterile, from cleaning tools to the hands of the cosmetologist. Maintaining sterility is an important rule when working with facial skin.
It is not possible to repeat the same cleanliness at home, because we cannot allocate a separate room for ourselves to do the cleaning.
But this procedure can be done in a clean bathroom or at a table, which will also be cleaned of dirt and treated with an antiseptic. It is best to wear sterile gloves in order to protect your face as much as possible from infection. Prepare clean towels, cotton wool, alcohol or chlorhexidine for the procedure, and put on a fresh robe. To keep your hair out of the way, pin it up or wear a special cosmetic bandage that reveals your forehead.
After cleansing, your face will not look its best. Avoid going outside for several hours.
It is advisable to cleanse your face at home in the evening so that the skin recovers overnight and takes on a normal appearance, without redness or swelling. It is recommended to repeat the home beauty procedure no more than once a month.
Narrowing pores
Cleansed, steamed skin should be made clean using procedures that help narrow pores and remove formations. Using masks will help remove a lot of acne at home, which brings discomfort and unpleasant sensations like acne with chickenpox. Steamed pores will speed up the effect of ointments and achieve an effective effect.
The use of masks helps remove acne and narrow pores to further prevent the occurrence. They are effective and are used when cleansing the face. Using it gives visible results. The use of masks will be allowed once a month. Frequent use is fraught with allergic reactions and enlarged pores. These processes damage the skin, causing frequent inflammatory formations of an infectious nature. The interval between operations is the main component of successful implementation.
Applying nourishing cream
After the procedure, apply a nourishing cream to the skin. The product should soothe the epidermis and give it a healthy appearance. The drug is applied for thirty minutes and washed off with water.
After completing the procedure (applying nourishing cream), you must stop using cosmetics for two weeks. The skin must undergo recovery. Wife should leave, slight redness. A cosmetic product applied to the inflammatory area provokes the appearance of red spots, causing a burning sensation. Painful acne may form. Cleaning will be unnecessary. You need to abstain. The consequences will take a long time to eliminate. Waiting two weeks will help you avoid unpleasant consequences and carry out the manipulation successfully.
